Best BBI 1:18 Aircraft?

Post by tmanthegreat » Mon Dec 20, 2004 9:44 pm

With the new releases of the P-51 and F-16 to the expanding selection of BBI fixed and rotor-wing aircraft, I thought I'd see which one all of you consider to be the best.

Only the aircraft type is considered, not the repaints!



Post Edited: I messed up when making the poll, and the P-51 didn't get on! Thats the one I'd have voted for as well! Guess the poll should be scrapped and a more accurate one set up...

I didnt see the P-51 listed or I more than likely would have picked it!
F-16 is a beauty which I really hope comes out in a Thunderbirds scheme
but the P-51 is absolutely amazing in detail, and at a price you cant beat.
When I started this hobby, the 21st XD was second to none, but with BBi's latest releases, and the big improvement on the paint of their recent figures, 21st has some serious competition. :D

It is a toss up between the P-51 and the F-16-both are great!

I drooled over the F-18 for months when it was first annouced... and when I saw it for the first time at Comic Con 2004 in person... I HAD to buy it and bought one on the spot. So my vote will always be F-18 no matter what BBi pumps out.

gotta go with the BH, it was the first real good piece of modern aircraft, and was one of the pieces that got me back into 1:18 collection, was also the precursor to a lot of new modern stuff being released

Hey mburduck,

Im with you, I wanted to vote P-51 but when I voted, it wasnt listed. List has been updated since then. P-51 is by far the best 1:18 scale aircraft out there (OK, prop airplane :-)

I go for the one I forgot - the P-51! The F-16 comes close, but the P-51 is the best of all the 1:18 aircraft.

I agree. The jets are incredible. But the detail on the P-51 is unforgetable.

I voted for the BBI P-51. Hands down the BEST 1/18th scale WW 2 fighter ever made.
